Law and Justice
The Law and Justice Minor is an interdisciplinary approach to student learning with courses in disciplines, departments, and schools across the university. The minor enhances students’ knowledge and skills with regards to critical analysis of social, political and ethical issues. Students explore the relationship between social justice, laws, theories, governments, and institutions in the United States and across the globe, as well as group dynamics. Topics are related to the constitution, legal environments, criminal justice, and the judiciary system as they impact social change.
Students will take 5 courses to complete the minor: 2 required courses and 3 electives. No more than two electives can be taken in any one department. Courses from across the university may be selected with permission from the minor’s director.
